"Myocardial transit-time" is a novel and easy-to-perform CMR parameter that allows a quick assessment of the extent of myocardial microvascular disease. This novel CMR parameter may open new vistas in the assessment of microvascular disease-not only in HCM patients. Future studies will show the usefulness and clinical relevance of this novel CMR parameter.
